Herbicide For Cassava Farm by kingralph(m): 3:25pm On Jun 30, 2017 |
Hello everyone. Please I am in serious need of information on which herbicide is effective for controlling weeds on my cassava farm. The farm is quite massive hence manual Labour would be costly. It's urgent please |

how old are your cassava now? |
Re: Herbicide For Cassava Farm by kingralph(m): 3:45pm On Jun 30, 2017 |
yomie040:They are about 6 weeks old and doing very well only that the weeds are restricting their optimum growth |

kingralph:buy xtraforce for pre-emergence weed control or double force for post-emergence control from jubaili agrotec. send a mail to technical.abuja@jubailiagrotec.com for enquiries |
Re: Herbicide For Cassava Farm by soil9: 6:11pm On Jun 30, 2017 |
kingralph:get double force and apply by direct spraying |
Re: Herbicide For Cassava Farm by kingralph(m): 9:24pm On Jun 30, 2017 |
soil9:Thanks soil9. Are you also a farmer? Is there any way I can contact you? |
Re: Herbicide For Cassava Farm by OluchiDelly: 9:32pm On Jun 30, 2017 |
soil9: Is the double force also selective to maize? I mean cassava farm intercrop with maize. |
Re: Herbicide For Cassava Farm by kingralph(m): 10:07pm On Jun 30, 2017 |
OluchiDelly:I spoke on phone with soil9. He says it is not selective to Maize but only cassava. Are you also a farmer. Maybe we can meet and exchange ideas and progress report |
Re: Herbicide For Cassava Farm by yomie040(m): 11:28pm On Jun 30, 2017 |
soil9:what is the active ingredient in this double force? |
Re: Herbicide For Cassava Farm by yomie040(m): 11:35pm On Jun 30, 2017 |
kingralph:Visit any agro store and ask for fusilade or any herbicide with fusipop-buty as the active ingredient and apply as direct spray. |

Brother, please use any contact herbicide preferably paraquat. Reason: it kills only the part of plant it touches. Secondly since the farm is about 6weeks old it is the best time to use paraquat. You said the farm is intercropped with maize so do target spraying..how?.. spray only weeds and any big weed should be bent out of the crop pack with nozzle or your booth and sprayed. Note: after spraying follow up with fertilizer application on the 8th week. During the fertilizer application any weed not killed during the spaying (may be due to being too close to crop)would be hand-pulled .At 10th week see your crop canopy will stunt any other stubborn weed by denying it light.

happybrother:please do not try this, it is suicidal. At 6 weeks, your cassava are still very tender. No matter how good, its a risk. 1 Like |

This is strange. I have realized that many of the advice given here are not borne out of experience. Agrochemicals sales agents recommend one chemical to you just to make sales hardly rea hard lying efficacy of the chemicals. A sales agent says one thing while another says another thing entirely. True farmers are really having a hard time. I heard of a farmer over here who bought some recommend chemicals only for it to destroy his crops Farmers in the house please how can I surmount this challenge? |
Re: Herbicide For Cassava Farm by yomie040(m): 2:25pm On Jul 01, 2017 |
kingralph:for any farm issues, i will be glad to help you resolve them. Do not rely on everything a sales agent tells you. Its suicidal. |

Re: Herbicide For Cassava Farm by soil9: 6:46pm On Jul 01, 2017 |
kingralph:your advice here is not far from the truth. however, always consult a technical officers or sales agronomists of any of the big agrochemical companies like jubaili, saro, candel, wacot and African Agro. they provide free agronomic advice on the safe and effective use of their respective products. they are not pressured into meeting sales targets like ordinary salesmen. they conduct on-farm demonstrations, and collaborate with research institutes such as IITA, ICRISAT, IFDC, CIAT, ICARDA, IAR&T e.t.c. farmers should always ensure they read the labels on the products they purchase. |

yomie040:fusillade or StarForce are also selective but would only control grasses. be rest assured that broadleaved weeds would be smiling at you. you can carefully use Bentazone which I doubt will bw available in any market. note that all Aryloxypheoxypropanoite whether, fluazifop p butyl (starforce or fusilade)or haloxyfop p ethyl (e.g Gallant super) will only control grasses |
Re: Herbicide For Cassava Farm by soil9: 7:12pm On Jul 01, 2017 |
yomie040:diuron and paraquat. paraquat kills existing weeds while diuron kills germinating weeds. alternatively, apply diuron alone if the weeds are young and actively because it has some level of early post emergence activity in cassava. paraquat could injure your crop if double force is not applied well |
Re: Herbicide For Cassava Farm by yomie040(m): 7:31pm On Jul 01, 2017 |
soil9:yes i know but not advicing him to use paraquat. An inexperienced agroprenuer 4 that matter. |
Re: Herbicide For Cassava Farm by jakesbaba: 8:48pm On Jul 01, 2017 |
yomie040: Thank you. Hope l can always knock at your door whenever I need advice/info? |

Re: Herbicide For Cassava Farm by kingralph(m): 5:25pm On Jul 02, 2017 |
Everyone guess what? I finally made a discovery. Via nairaland I made some contact who eventually told me the best chemical for treating weeds on cassava farm is "force uron". The active ingredient in this chemical is "di-uron". The contact happened to be an agrochemicals supplier who incidentally supplies agrochemicals to the person I buy these chemicals from.. Lol The funny thing is that my neighbor on the farm who I hardly meet has confirmed to me that it is this chemical he too used to eradicate weeds on his farm Tomorrow we will try it out unfailingly by God's grace I will keep the house informed on my progress |
Re: Herbicide For Cassava Farm by soil9: 6:34pm On Jul 02, 2017 |
kingralph:diuron was mentioned earlier in the conversations. it can be used pre and early post-emergence 1 Like |

kingralph: Hi kigralph, please what's the update on your use of " force uron" herbicide in your Cassava farm? Was it effective against the broadleaf weed as well? What effect did it have on your Cassava crop, and the intercrop Maize? Looking forward to your response sir. |
